Tattoo Booking Form
Thank you for your interest in my work!
Pricing
My minimum prices are £150 for flash designs and £200 for custom projects. Prices vary depending on detail, colour, size and placement.
My fees reflect my time, experience, skills, style, cost of equipment, taxes, studio commission and the comfortable clean environment and safe space I’m providing.
If you have a limited budget, please don’t hesitate to reach out! I’m always happy to discuss simplifying the design or doing a deal for multiples.
Deposits
There is a deposit of £100 required to hold your spot, this is non-refundable and will be deducted from the total price of your tattoo.
Reschedules must be made 72 hrs before our session or you will unfortunately have to pay another deposit.
FAQ’s
Can I buy a tattoo design from you to get tattooed in another country?
Unfortunately I don’t consent to other artists tattooing my designs, however, I’m always planning guest spots in different counties! Please fill out a booking form, tick “add me to a waitlist” and list the cities you are based in/able to travel to, with preferred dates if possible, for first dibs when tattoo slots become available.
Can I get tattooed over scars?
Yes, as long as they are fully healed. I cannot tattoo over any open wounds.
Can I book in with you if I have an existing infected tattoo?
No - if you have an infected tattoo you should NOT get a new tattoo until it is completely healed and the infection is gone. I cannot tattoo you if you have an active infection. Skin infections can spread through the bloodstream and through direct contact so there is a big chance your new tattoo will also become infected.
Your immune system is weakened when it's fighting off infection, this affects the speed of healing - higher chance of scarring, ink falling out, bad results, possible reinfection. Skin infections are easily spread through contact so coming into a tattoo studio with an open infection is risky for other clients even with rigorous cleaning practices. If you aren't sure of something like this it's always better to ask your artist and reschedule.
Signs your tattoo is infected: red, swollen, painful, thick scabs, pulsating, yellow tinge.
What to do: contact your artist, keep the tattoo dry, out of the sun and clean with antibacterial soap. Avoid balms and creams unless they are prescribed to you. If symptoms get worse go to a pharmacy or doctor.
How do I prepare for my tattoo?
Please have a rough placement in mind before coming in for your tattoo.
Please let me know at least 24 hours before our session if you are planning on changing your tattoo idea.
Please gently exfoliate your skin the day before our session and moisturise your skin everyday for a few days before coming to the studio. This makes a huge difference to how well your skin will take the ink and how well your tattoo will heal. This video demonstrates why this is so important!
Do not shave beforehand, I will do all shaving in-session. This eliminates the risk of you potentially getting a cut on the area you want tattooed, which will mean I cannot tattoo there.
Do not drink alcohol for at least 24 hrs before getting tattooed. Alcohol thins your blood which causes excessive bleeding. Do not come to a tattoo session hungover.
Don’t expose your skin to the sun for at least a few days before your session. If this can’t be avoided, make sure you are wearing SPF 50+. I cannot tattoo sunburned skin.
Please get a good nights sleep, hydrate and eat well before and after your session. It’s also a good idea to bring a few snacks/sweets and a sugary drink as sometimes blood pressure can drop or adrenaline can make you feel faint/dizzy.
Please wear something comfortable which allows easy access to the tattoo area. If you have long hair, please bring a hair tie.
How do I take care of my new tattoo?
To ensure your tattoo heals as beautifully as possible:
Avoid tight clothing around your tattoo while its in its first week of healing.
No swimming / bathing / saunas / steam rooms / being underwater with your fresh tattoo for extended periods of time for at least 3 weeks / longer for larger more filled in pieces.
No sun exposure for the first 3 weeks of healing time. After 3 weeks, wear sunscreen when the area is exposed.
No excessive exercise (where you are dripping in sweat) for the first 2 weeks of healing time.
If you have been given a Second Skin dressing, leave this on for 2-3 days. Take this off under warm running water. This video shows how to remove it correctly. Very rarely, Second Skin can leave a sticky residue on the skin. This usually lifts off during washing. However, if the tattoo is very sticky, rubbing the area in circular motions with olive oil on a piece of paper towel will do the trick.
Wash your hands before washing your tattoo with warm water and a gentle unscented soap. I recommend lathering the soap above the tattoo and letting the suds flow over the area. You do not need to scrub the tattoo - running your soapy hand over the area a few times is enough. Pat the area dry with a clean paper towel. Do not use a fabric towel, even if it is freshly washed.
Let the tattoo breathe. Don’t moisturise your tattoo until it feels like it needs to be moisturised. When your skin starts to feel dry or look a little crispy, moisturise once/twice a day with a gentle unscented moisturiser. Do not use oil based products or Vaseline as they will block oxygen from the tattoo.
No scratching / peeling off / picking at your tattoo during the healing process, let any scabs naturally fall off.
For at least the first year, please make sure you are wearing enough sunscreen in the sun, even on cloudy days.

Are your flash designs repeatable?
Yes, all flash designs are repeatable, but we can work on creating a variation to ensure your tattoo is one of a kind if you’d like! This will be at an additional cost depending on how many changes are made.
What about touch-ups?
Do you not know if you need a touch up? I'm happy to weigh in if you can't tell! Please send me healed pics and we'll go from there. They are always free but I require a deposit to secure your spot, which will be refunded at the end of our session.
What is a ‘silent session’?
Getting a tattoo can be a really nice opportunity to zone out - to read, watch Netflix or listen to a podcast (all while sitting still of course). You can request a silent session in the ‘anything else you’d like me to know?’ section of your booking form. This means we will talk about the tattoo when placing the stencil, but once I start tattooing, the time is yours to chill in silence.
Can I buy a tattoo voucher as a gift for a friend?
Yes! Tattoo gift vouchers are available to purchase from my shop.
